A GPU-Accelerated Sharp Interface Immersed Boundary Solver for Large Scale Flow Simulations
Sushrut Kumar, Joshua Romero, Jung-Hee Seo +2
Immersed boundary methods (IBMs) facilitate the simulation of flows around stationary, moving, and deforming bodies on Cartesian grids. However, extending these simulations to the…
Flow-induced dorso-ventral deformation enhances propulsive efficiency in flexible caudal fins
Sushrut Kumar, Matthew J. McHenry, Jung-Hee Seo +1
Fish swim with flexible fins that stand in stark contrast to the rigid propulsors of engineered vehicles. Using numerical simulations of the dynamics of flow-structure interaction,…
Computational Modeling and Analysis of the Coupled Aero Structural Dynamics in Bat Inspired Wings
Sushrut Kumar, Jung-Hee Seo, Rajat Mittal
We employ a novel computational modeling framework to perform high-fidelity direct numerical simulations of aero-structural interactions in bat-inspired membrane wings. The wing of…
Contribution of spanwise and cross-span vortices to the lift generation of low-aspect-ratio wings: Insights from force partitioning
Karthik Menon, Sushrut Kumar, Rajat Mittal
This study reports on the vortex-induced lift production mechanisms in low Reynolds number flows over low aspect-ratio rectangular wings. We use a rigorous force partitioning metho…
